This wikiHow teaches you how to use a TOR-enabled internet browser on your iPhone to prevent ad services, internet service providers, or cookies from tracking your use. TOR uses encryption to route your iPhone's IP address through different servers all over the world, making it virtually impossible to track your IP address without advanced knowledge or software. Keep in mind that there are sites on TOR that don't appear during usual browsing, and some of these sites house harmful or illegal content; browse at your own discretion.

Be aware that some are free and some are not; if you decide to pay for an app, look for well-reviewed apps and read some of the reviews before committing.
